The first quarter of 2011 was a tumultuous one for two regions in particular: the AsiaPacific and the Middle East. Beginning in December 2010 and continuing into 2011,floods in the Queensland and Victoria areas hit Australia’s communities and itseconomy—totaling an approximately AUD$30 billion (US$28 billion) reduction in thecountry’s GDP. Shortly after the floods subsided, New Zealand was hit with a 6.3magnitude earthquake, which took the lives of 181 people and resulted in NZ$15-16billion (US$11 billion) in damage. Although horrible occurrences in both countries, theseevents would almost dwarf in comparison to the next natural disaster that would takeplace: the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami that hit the country on 11 March2011. Over 15,000 deaths were reported, with over 7,500 people still missing. PrimeMinister Naoto Kan reported that “in the 65 years after the end of World War II, this is thetoughest and the most difficult crisis for Japan.” The total cost of the damage is estimatedat over US$300 billion.
On the other side of the world, the Middle East ended 2010 with the ouster of TunisianPresident Ben Ali, which precipitated the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak in Egypt,a civil war in Libya, and uprisings in Bahrain, Syria, and Yemen. The civil unrest hascreated ripples throughout the region, with protests also occurring in Algeria, Iraq, Jordan,Morocco, and Oman.
Although these two regions were hit hard economically in the first quarter, the peoplehave importantly remained positive: according to a McCann Worldgroup study, 74 percentof Japanese people expressed confidence in Japan's ability to recover. Consumer

of Japanese people expressed confidence in Japan's ability to recover. Consumerconfidence in the Middle East has risen in the first quarter. In markets like Egypt, wherethe advertising market plummeted -51.3 percent, consumer confidence rose 29 points inthe first quarter from the fourth quarter—to 102 points. Globally, consumer confidencehas risen two points from the fourth quarter of 2010 to 92 points.
Takeshi Minami, chief economist at the Norinchukin Research Institute, reported toReuters in June that “emerging economies are tightening monetary policy so they mayexperience some slowdown, while advanced economies are also seeing very slowgrowth.”
This sentiment seems to also reflect the advertising market in the first quarter of 2011.While markets such as the Asia Pacific (+12.4%) and the Middle East and Africa(+10.4%) emerged from the first quarter with healthy growth over the same quarter in2010, mature markets such as North America (+5.4%) and Europe (+2.9%) showed muchmore contained growth during the first quarter.
Television continued to assert its dominance globally, with a +11.9 percent growth duringthe first quarter—increasing its share of spend amongst other media types from 63.5percent year-to-date in 2010 to 65.3 percent in 2010.

Although some markets have shown high ad spend growth, actual growth should be takenin context along with inflation rates, as this may provide a more accurate view of growthwithin that market. When adjusted for inflation, South Africa and Argentina show thehighest advertising growth—at 29.9 and 26.7 percent growth respectively. India, whichfaces a higher inflation rate of 7.5 percent, shows a 16.3 percent growth in ad spendwhen adjusted for inflation. These adjusted trends are provided to give an indication of thetrue growth and decline in advertising markets covered in the Nielsen Global AdViewPulse; actual adjusted spend trends may vary.

All four major media types showed
positive numbers globally during
the first quarter of 2011, with
Television continuing its reign as
by far the leading media type.
Television, which holds the highest
share of spend (65.3%), showed a
11.9 percent growth in the first
quarter of 2011 when compared
with Q1 2010. Television grew
impressively in the Asia Pacific,
with a +17.5 percent growth,
whereas mature markets like
North America (+7.7%) and

compared with Television,
registering an 8.5 percent growth
in the first quarter of 2011—the
same growth registered in 2010 vs
2009. Magazines also reported a
positive trend at 6.4 percent, but
Newspapers reported a growth of
only 1.0 percent—reflecting the
declines experienced in both North
America (-7.6%) and Europe
(-1.6%). Consistent with trends
witnessed in 2010, Radio,
Magazines, and Newspapers
continued to lose some of their
share of spend to Television.

All sectors increased their advertising expenditures in the first quarter of 2011 when
compared with Q1 2010, though at a slower growth than witnessed in 2010—which may
be largely due the higher basis of comparison. Ad spend for the sector with the highest
share of spend, FMCG, grew by 7.5 percent against Q1 2010—with very slight growth
noted in North America (+1.6%) and a decline seen in Europe (-3.1%).
Automotive (+17.5%), Clothing & Accessories (+19.3%), Industry & Services (10.3%),
and Healthcare (+12.0%) all reported double-digit ad spend growth during the first
quarter, with Financial also performing well with a 7.1 percent growth. Healthcare’s
growth was particularly noteworthy, as it was the sector with the smallest percentage
increase overall in 2010 (+1.7%). Representing a 10.5 percent share of spend amongst
all macro sectors, Healthcare only experienced a minor decline in spend in Europe, at
-2.0 percent.

The European advertising market continued its path ofcontained growth during the first quarter of 2011, reportinga 2.9 percent increase in advertising spend whencompared with Q1 2010.

After ending2010 with an increase of +8.1 percent, the region’s largestsector, FMCG, showed an important decline of -3.1percent—which may have been fueled by the later date ofthe Easter holiday which traditionally fuels confectionaryadvertising. March 2011 showed a decline in ad spendingof -1.2 percent when compared with the same month in

The source for the macro-economic indicators is IMF (International Monetary Fund) –World Economic Outlook April 2011 (website: www.imf.org).
The Nielsen Global Consumer Confidence Survey (source for the Nielsen ConsumerConfidence Index), was conducted between March 23 and April 12, 2011 and polledapproximately 28,000 consumers in 51 countries throughout Asia Pacific, Europe, LatinAmerica, the Middle East, Africa and North America about their confidence levels andeconomic outlook. The Nielsen Consumer Confidence Index is developed based onconsumers’ confidence in the job market, status of their personal finances and readinessto spend. The sample has quotas based on age and sex for each country based on theirInternet users, is weighted to be representative of Internet consumers, and has amaximum margin of error of +0.6%.
Figures are expressed in Million USD and are gross except for Australia, Ireland, and theUK which are estimated net at source, and France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands,Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey to which Nielsen Global AdView estimated weighting factorsare applied. USA and Spanish figures are based on apples-to-apples comparisons to theprevious year, both in terms of coverage and methodology, in order to give a moreaccurate representation of the trends. The source for the exchange rates is OANDA
(website: www.oanda.com ) and the rate applied to all figures is the 2010 yearly average.
In order to reflect the most accurate picture for media type trends and macro-sectortrends, the methodology used for each may differ. Adjustments and estimates necessaryto represent the media type trends accurately may not be suitable for the macro-sectortrends. In some cases a direct comparison is therefore not possible.
